Barack Obama’s Pet Peeves
In response to Amie Parnes’s puff piece on Politico about the President’s “pet peeves” I came up with my own list which I posted on Twitter throughout the day using the hashtag #bhopetpeeves:
Serviceable used cars.
Small crowds.
Big ear jokes.
Man-to-man defense.
Children without tonsils.
The CBO.
“#tcots”
